This makes nft behave like 0.9.0 -- the ruleset

flush ruleset
table inet filter {
}
table inet filter {
      chain test {
        counter
    }
}

loads again without generating an error message.
I've added a test case for this, without this it will create an error,
and with a checkout of the 'fixes' tag we get crash.

Closes: https://bugzilla.netfilter.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1351
Fixes: e5382c0d08e3c ("src: Support intra-transaction rule references")

This one is causing the cache corruption, right?

There is no cache corruption.  This patch makes us enter a code
path that we did not take before.

Sorry, I mean, this is a cache bug :-)

cache_flush() is cheating, it sets flags to CACHE_FULL, hence this
enters this codepath we dit not take before. This propagates from the
previous logic, as a workaround.

I made this patch, to skip the cache in case "flush ruleset" is
requested.

This breaks testcases/transactions/0024rule_0, which is a recent test
from Phil to check for intra-transaction references, I don't know yet
what makes this code unhappy with my changes.

Phil, would you help me have a look at what assumption breaks? Thanks.

Sorry, I don't get it. What is happening in the first place? Florian
writes, a lookup happens in the wrong table and it seems
chain_evaluate() doesn't add the chain to cache. Yet I don't understand
why given patch fixes the problem.

Cheers, Phil
